RED WHITE AND BLUE!

Good morning from a rather wet and dreary West Yorkshire - a perfect day for crafting!

Hope you all enjoyed the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations? Going along with the Jubilee theme is the current challenge atLESS IS MOREwhere the lovely Chrissie and Mandi would like to see RED WHITE and BLUE on our projects.

**********

I decided to do something with bling on my card, after being inspired by a handbag I saw in a shop window a couple of days ago.

The red and blue sequins came from a local craft store, and the pearls are from my stash.

Sentiment - Hero Arts, inked with Versafine Majestic Blue, Princess Crown from stash (sorry I didn't have a Queen one)! Some gems added to the crown, and a dry-embossed border around the "flag".

It took tons of glue and patience, but it was great fun to make!!*********
I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges:-CCC - Red. White and Blue.Top Tip Tuesday - Sparkles Galore for the Jubilee.One Stop Crafts - Crowns or Diamonds plus Red White and Blue.Scrapbook Sisters - Red. White and Blue.

Lots of love to all ~Update - June 13th - My card won the Challenge at Scrapbook Sisters! Whoo-hoo!

I'm sure it took you awhile to create this Sylvia but so worth sharing. Wonderful inspiration and beauty. Thanks sweetie for stopping by my blog and the lovely words of encouragement. I'm getting better and breathing somewhat better but still have an infection and not a lot of energy. I've so missed blogging and visiting and hope to be back in August. "Hugs"

Wow, Slyvia this is stunning ! And also so perfect of the LIM challenge. I love your creations, you are a talented lady. To come up with the idea of the Union Jack with the pearls, is so creative ! Hope you had fun with the celebrations, Shirleyx
